Building regulations

Being uniquely set in a National Park and with nature not built structures being the dominant featue of the village, each owner's priority is surely to maintain and improve the environmental integrity of Nature’s Valley.

Therefore, when a house is built or alterations are considered, the conservation of the natural environment should be a prime consideration and any impact on the sensitive ecology minimised. Besides the built structure itself, care should be taken at the planning stage to identify intrusive elements that could influence the surrounding environment.

These needs plus title deed restrictions, planning and building approval processes and relevant Acts and Regulations are described fully in the Building Guidelines and Regulations on the next page. It is critical that owners share this document with their architects and contractors before any detailed planning commences. Additional documents are also provided to help deal with regulations.
